They are all owned by Americans and other foreigners. If this was to benefit the people of Hawaii we might look upon it with more tolerance. but the people of Hawaii are nuwilling to labor. they love idleness and dissipation. and they have already by the action of their Legislative Assembly sent out agents in order to obtain Chinese cooly laborers to supply their expected wants. I find in a Hawaiian paper which is upon my desk that they appropriatedin the Legislative Assembly $5.000 to send to China for Chinese laborers. and the act of the agent was criticised in their legislative halls bepause instead of going to China for these coolies he went to San Francisco. and obtained four hundred of them. This shows how little interest the people of Hawaii have in this matter. When this treaty was under consideration it was represented that it would cost the Government of the United States in its Treasury Department but $370.000.
